When we started this thing — this collaboration with the anonymous photographer behind MeInMyPlace.com, where we ask the beautiful, famous women to invite him over and he brings the camera — we kind of pictured Paz de la Huerta. How could you not? If you watched the first season of HBO's Boardwalk Empire, you witnessed the 26-year-old New Yorker prancing around a ballroom or a bedroom every Sunday as Lucy Danziger, Atlantic City showgirl and moody mistress of Steve Buscemi's Nucky Thompson. And if you've been watching art-house movies or caught yourself staring at the cover of art-world magazines lately, there's pretty much no way you haven't fantasized about this woman in bed. Something tells us she won't be going away anytime soon. So: sorry, but you're welcome. —The Editors
